Of 1,050 randomly selected adults, 360 identified themselves as manual laborers, 280 identified themselves as non-manual wage ea

rners, 250 identified themselves as mid-level managers, and 160 identified themselves as executives. In the survey, 82% of manual laborers preferred trucks, 62% of non-manual wage earners preferred trucks, 54% of mid-level managers preferred trucks, and 26% of executives preferred trucks.
Construct a 95% confience interval for the percentage of executives that preferred trucks. ( I know for sure that the answer is +or- 6.82%, but I need to know how to get this.)

Answer:

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sample of executives, of size n=160, and the proportion that prefer trucks is 26%.

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.26.

 

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.26*0.74}{160}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0012}=0.0347

The critical z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.96 \cdot 0.0347=0.068

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26-0.068=0.192\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26+0.068=0.328

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.192, 0.328).

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

What is the length of the hypotenuse? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
exis [7]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>3.5 Km</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

the length of the hypotenuse is 4 Km, it is probable that you are looking for the value of the cathetus a.

it is a right triangle and we use Pythagoras

a² = 4² - 2²

a² = 16 - 4

a² = 12

a = √12

a = 3.46 (round 3.5)

Factor completely. 2x^4+4x^3-30x^2
kramer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x⁴ + 4x³ - 30x² = 2x²*(x² + 2x - 15)

x² + 2x - 15

Sum = 2

Product = -15

Factors = 5 ; (-3)

x² + 2x - 15 = x² + 5x - 3x - 3 *5

                  = x(x + 5) - 3(x + 5)

                  = (x + 5)(x - 3)

2x⁴ + 4x³ - 30x² = (2x²) (x + 5)(x - 3)

Hey there!!

Given equation :

( x - 1 ) / 4 = ( x + 2 ) / 3

First step we will need to take is to cross-multiply. In cross-multiplication, we will have t multiply the denominator with the numerator on both the sides. In this case, we will have to multiply 4 with x + 2 and 3 with x - 1.

... 4 ( x + 2 ) = 3 ( x - 1 )

... 4x + 8 = 3x - 3

Subtract 3x on both sides.

... x + 8 = -3

Subtract 8 on both sides

... x = - 11

Hope my answer helps!
